Meta tag description/keywords never appears - is_home is always false

I'm using Atahualpa 3.2 on WP 2.8.4 and the Meta tags for description and keywords don't ever show up on the home page. As far as I can tell, that's because the WP function "is_home" always returns false. My understanding is that's because my WP home page is a "static" page. I'm not sure why that's true (seems silly). Is there a way to get the Meta tags to appear on the home page?

I suggest to upgrade to 3.4.2, Atahualpa is evolving fast and I can only focus on the current and next version. Otherwise edit bfa_meta_tags.php and replace is_home() with is_front_page()

I haven't been able to find instructions on how to upgrade. If I'm already running
3.2, can I just over-write the existing Atahualpa theme directory with the
latest 3.4.2 version?

Upload it as another directory name then you can run both versions side by side and switch between them. There are many threads about this here on the forum

I am running 3.4.4 and cannot find meta description in my view source even though I have been entering them as I write pages and posts. I am using the theme's utilities, not an add-on plugin like Platinum SEO. Do I need to be adding in another plugin to handle this?
